Cliff-Bell Building Inspections & Mold Assessments

A mold inspection and mold remediation are two different jobs that shouldn't be done by the same company. An inspector's job is to identify mold and assess the problem objectively. A remediation company's job is to fix it and make money doing so. When one company does both, they have a financial incentive to find more mold or recommend more expensive fixes than necessary. That's why industry standards keep these roles separate. In Houston, where humidity and rainfall create ideal conditions for mold growth, having an independent inspector you can trust makes all the difference.

Cliff-Bell Building Inspections & Mold Assessments operates as a mold inspector in Houston, keeping that independence intact. A standalone mold inspection typically costs between $200 and $600 in this region, and it gives you clear, unbiased information about what you're dealing with. If remediation is needed, you'll hire a separate contractor. Before you call anyone, make sure any remediation contractor holds a Texas Mold Remediation Contractor License from the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation (TDLR). You can verify their license status at tdlr.texas.gov before signing anything.
